Bodies Stolen From 1T. Louis Cemetery
and shipped to Louisville.
A ST. Louis dispatch of the 9th says:
1t was made known to-day for the first
time that a few davs ago news was re-
ceived from Louisville, Ky, that eight
barrels marked merchandise, F" shipped
from ST. Louis over the Ohio * Missis-
sippi road, had been received by med
icsl col ege at that place. which were
found to contain eight human bodies,
two of them remains of fully de-
yeloped women. The authorities of
one of the St. Louis cemeteries
say that about thirty DAYS ago they en-
baImed a number of bodies and that two
weeks ago they buried them. As the
graves gave evidence of being tampered
with they are guarded and are to be
opened next week for investigation.
The names of the persons buried in
them are withheld from the public
The medical college here has missed
two bodies, but will not give the names
of the subjects. They were lowered
from dissecting room by chain and
hook smuggled into an elevator.
The medical college people say
the bodies must have been stolen,
as it has been impossible for
long time for the Louis
vile college TO secure legitimate bodies
enough to supply the necessities of the
dissecting room. They have taken steps
to investigate the matter here and at
Louisville. The Ohio & Mississippi
Railroad people deny that they received
the eight barrels here or at East St.
Louis for shipment to Louisville They
say it is barely possible that the
shipments may have been made from
Caseyvllle, H., or some other small
town in which event they would have
been put in East st. Louis ears. The
railroad people are investigating the
story

CHICAGO. Oct. 2S.-Health-O Officer De
Wolf sent the following telegram to Sur
geon-General Hamilton this morning:
Il have found thirteen of the immi-
grants referred to Yesterday. All well.
| have found eight packing cases and six
bundles of bedding and clothing all
packed within tWenty-One miles of Paler-
mo and not opened at New York. | shall
disiniect or burn. In view OF the above
facts and the experience of 1873, what
value has the statements of the New
York quarantine officers that no danger
was to be apprehended from the Inde-
pendente ?'
In 1873, to which the doctor refers,
the New York officers did precisely the
same thing as in this instance. Some of
the immigrants at that time driited to
New Orleans and others to Minnesota,
and cholera broke out the following
spring, caused by the clothing. DR.. De
Wolf says the United States authorities
should take hold of the matter The
other Italians have not been found.
ST. Louis, Mo, Oct 27.-The health
department is excited over the arrival
IN this C ty of forty immigrants from the
cholera-infected italian ports. They
were passengers on the independents,
and went on through to Colorado. This
morning another batch arrived and
some left for the West later in the dav.
The others are supposed TO be in the
city, and the health department is try
ing TO locate them.

Unsuccessful Attempt to Burn Thirty
Sleeping Italians in Michigan.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 25.-An at
tempt to burn thirty Italians, asleep
in building in the township of
Paris, Kent County, was frustrated last
night by the timely warning of one who
awoke and found the house in flames.
The building was one used by an Italian
named KING Santa Garatio, who kept
sort of store with rooms above for the
sleeping Italians who worked on the new
q. r., l.. q ID. Road five miles south Of
the city. There have been hard feelings
existing between this crew and crew
OF fourteen at work near by and who
lived in the city. About 10 O'Clock last
night an unknown man crept into a va
cant room and set fire 10 the house and
then joined the party on the outside, who
barricaded the doors and used every ei-
fort TO keep the inmates from escaping.
They, however, managed to get out,
many OF them leaving all their clothing.
An effort will be made TO find the guilty
ones and punish them. 1t was a narrow
escape for all, as they had retired early
and were sound asleep when the alarm

GARRETT Is INSANE.
No Doubt That the Hallway Magnate Has
Lost His Mind.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 24.-There seems
to be now no doubt that Robert Garrett,
the dethroned president of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, is afflicted mem
tally. His actions since his return to
Baltimore have more than convinced his
relatives and friends that he is in a sad
condition. Ever since his return to Bal
timore his relatives and friends have
used the utmost precaution 10 keep the
knowledge of his condition quiet, but
without avail Whenever he was in the
city he was closely shadowed by physi-
clan, which alone gave rise 10 a suspicion
that something was wrong, and his ac-
ton has more than confirmed that be-
lief. Some there are VINO term his af-
Fiction softening OF the brain, while
others say that 1t IS simply giving way
of his nervous system. His physician.
Or. y. s. Gorter, a day or two ago, adj

The Wife of "A Brooklyn Merchant Fatally
Hurt by an Internal Machine.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-About 10 o'clock
last night young man p years old,
dressed as telegraph messenger, pre-
sented himself at The residence of Jo-
seph Wechsler, of the dry goods firm Of
Wechsler x Abrahams. S26 Washington
Avenue, Brooklyn. To the servant who
opened the door he handed a small
package addressed TO Mr.. Wechsler.
Mrs. Wechsler opened it and found two
small boxes, one of which was made of
paper and the other of wood. The latter
had sliding top and she attempted TO
open 1t. There was sudden explosion.
The servants rushed into the room and
found Mrs. Wechsler in a terrible condi-
ton Her face and hands were badly
lacerated and she was almost blinded.
Her son, too, was in agony from the
pain caused by lacerations of his face
and hands. The faces OF Mrs. Wechs-
Ter and her son We're filed with small
pieces of metal. The boy, while painful
" hurt, is not considered to be in any
danger, but in the case of Mrs. Wechs-
Ter it is feared her death is certain. The
most careful examination failed to dis
close where the explosive and the
pieces of metal were kept. The only
explanation offered is that some cheml-
cal has been used, of tremendous force.
There is no clue to the perpetrators of
the outrage, and no reason is known for
an attempt on the life of Mr.. Wechsler.

Cincinnati to Nenia, ~.

and refined young lady, travelling alone,
from Cincinnati to her home at Xenia,
O., had suddenly died during the night
Everybody seemed in a good humor,"
remarked the conductor, ''and when
last passed through the car l noticed
that the young lady was having a gay
time. A moment more che threw up
her arms, gave slight shudder and
was dead. The train sped on at the
rate of thirty miles an hour and the
body of the young lady was not cold
when we arrived at Nenia. The young
lady's father was at the station to meet
her. | told the old gentleman that Ills
daughters body was in the car and that
she had died while en- route. The Old
father was horror-stricken and so par
alvzed by grief that he had to be assiste i
into the station. The body was removed
and our tram pulled out. l could not
learn the lady's name.
